I became a member at Costco recently and tried out booking a cruise with them on their website. I was very impressed! I could book it myself online without calling anyone and choose my stateroom from their website. Afterwards to make sure their service will be ok, I called and asked if I could change my stateroom and they answered right away. When the DCL website was down (wouldn’t work for me either), they called DCL while I was on the phone. I’m getting a $325 Costco gift card and 2% back as reward money as an executive member.. about 10% back total which is similar discount as a placeholder.
I have been using travel agencies to get the onboard credit but have been frustrated with waiting hours/ days for them to email me back when I want to change anything. So I really appreciate that I can just call Costco and they will connect me with DCL and I still get the Costco gift card. The Costco gift card is also way more than the onboard credit I would get with the agents I’ve used… which have been $75-100.
If you don’t care about having someone to ask questions to, don’t mind calling DCL if needed to make changes, and would use a Costco gift card, I would use them! I feel like it isn’t talked about enough on here… I almost forgot it was an option.
